mlxsw: Preparation for IPv4 router

Ido says:

This series prepares the driver for IPv4 router support. The router follow-up
patches are available at: https://github.com/jpirko/linux_mlxsw/tree/net-next_queue

Patches 1-9 simplify the netdevice notification block and also add several
checks during PRECHANGEUPPER events against topologies that aren't supported by
the device. This will ensure L3 interfaces are only configured on top of
valid netdevs.

Patches 10-13 contain trivial changes required for the introduction of a generic
FID struct - currently only used for vFIDs - in patch 14. Making the FID
struct generic will allow us to easily associate the underlying FIDs with
their L3-counterparts - Router interfaces (RIFs):

    FID Type        | Used by                         | RIF Type
    --------------------------------------------------------
    FID             | The VLAN-aware bridge           | VLAN
    vFID            | VLAN-unaware bridges            | FID
    rFID            | non-bridged netdevs (follow-up) | Sub-port

Obligatory ASCII art to visualize the above:

                   A.B.C.D
                      +
                      | FID RIF

                     br0                    E.F.G.H
                      +                        +
                      |                        | VLAN RIF

Patches 15-16 further generalize the struct by exploiting the fact that the
FID is a shared resource among ports. Each FID type is assigned a 'leave'
function that is invoked based on CHANGEUPPER events and takes care of the
necessary clean-up.

Patches 17-22 build upon the previous patches and use the FID struct for the
VLAN-aware bridge and take care of cleaning up FID resources in the 'leave'
functions. For now, these are only FDB records, but later on we'll have to
remove the RIFs associated with these FIDs, which will in turn take care of
routes and neighbours clean-up.

The last patch adds debug prints that proved very useful during the
development of this series.

Tested with the existing L2 recipes:

      For debug purposes, it's useful to know the order in which the driver
responds to changes in the topology of its upper devices.

Add debug prints to signal these events.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Free resources upon vPort destruction · 1c800759
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      There are situations in which a vPort is destroyed while still holding
references to device's resources such as FIDs and FDB records. This can
happen, for example, when a VLAN device is deleted while still being
bridged.

Instead of trying to make sure vPort destruction is invoked when it no
longer uses device's resources, just free them upon destruction. This
simplifies the code, as we no longer need to take different situations
into account when events are received - cleanup is taken care of in one
place.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Refactor FDB flushing logic · fe3f6d14
      Ido Schimmel authored 
      FDB entries are learned using {Port / LAG ID, FID} and therefore should
be flushed whenever a port (vPort) leaves its FID (vFID).

However, when the bridge port is a LAG device (or a VLAN device on top),
then FDB flushing is conditional. Ports removed from such LAG
configurations must not trigger flushing, as other ports might still be
members in the LAG and therefore the bridge port is still active.

The decision whether to flush or not was previously computed in the
netdevice notification block, but in order to flush the entries when a
port leaves its FID this decision should be computed there.

Strip the notification block from this logic and instead move it to one
FDB flushing function that is invoked from both the FID / vFID leave
functions.

When port isn't member in LAG, FDB flushing should always occur.
Otherwise, it should occur only when the last port (vPort) member in the
LAG leaves the FID (vFID).

This will allow us - in the next patch - to simplify the cleanup code
paths that are hit whenever the topology above the port netdevs changes.

      Not all vPorts will have FIDs assigned to them, so make sure functions
first test for FID presence.
